Albatron KX18D PROII

Review @ AnandTech

Zitat

The Albatron KX18D PROII is blessed with the most interesting and comprehensive group of overclocking and tweaking controls we have yet seen on an Athlon motherboard. Certainly, the DFI NFII Ultra has better choices for memory tweaking, but the vCore range to 2.65V, combined with vDimm to 3.0V, and adjustments for chipset voltage make the Albatron the most flexible Athlon board we have tested. Add to this the totally unique memory ratios on the KX18D PROII and you have a board (on paper) that is the overclocking king.

Our testing indicates that the Albatron is one of the top overclocking Athlon boards you will find, but it is held back in several areas from being the best. It requires more voltage for overclocks than competitors, and it seems much less capable at higher FSB settings than the DFI or Gigabyte boards. You can reach outstanding performance levels with the KX18D PROII, but you will likely have to reach those levels with higher ratios or with a combination of a higher voltage with a higher FSB. In addition, the new memory ratios seem to have problems working at the very ranges most enthusiasts will want, which is the DDR500 range. We don’t know if this is a limitation of the nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset or if it is something that can be fixed with a BIOS update, but if you buy the Albatron KX18D PROII to run DDR500 memory, you will be disappointed.

jemand eine ahnung, wo ich das board herbekommen kann? mein abit is eingegangenund deshalb brauch ich ein neues. bei geizhals hab ichs nicht gefunden.

ich hasse hersteller die keine sockellöcher machen, wie willst die cpu vernünftig kühlen bitte. das hat ma scho 2 boards verhaut, zuerst das gigabyte mit der sexeeh stromversorgung, nun das albatron mit den geilen voltages

naja irgendwie ist das mobo eigenartig....

wer braucht 2,65vcore ?

aber dafür "nur" 3,0vmem das könnten ruhig mehr sein...

tja. irgendwie sollte ich es mir aus dem kopf schlagen. nirgendswo zu kaufen und keine löcher. jemand ne andere idee (boardmässig & kein abit oder asus)?
